A pre-eminent creator of custom rubber watch straps, Rubber B has spent the last several years crafting watch straps for watches for some of the most highly respected watchmakers in both Europe and North America, including Rolex, Tudor, and Apple. Rubber B has a wide selection of colors, styles, and materials to choose from for these timepieces, and all of these straps are made exclusively from 100% vulcanized rubber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the first blog post of 2023, Rubber B has decided to put together a brief guide on watch straps for one of the most popular Rolex models the company has ever produced \u2013 the Rolex GMT Pepsi. We will go into a brief history of the watch itself, and then take a closer look at the different kinds of straps that Rubber B has available for this watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Beginnings of the Rolex \u201cPepsi\u201d GMT-Master<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cPepsi\u201d watch is the unofficial nickname for a popular variant of the Rolex GMT Master, which has been in production in some form or fashion since 1955. Although the color scheme used on the watch is one that is popularly identified with Pepsi, the soda giant actually had nothing to do with the color choices on this watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The watch was actually designed at the behest of Pan American, who wanted a watch that would make flying easier for the pilots. The red and blue coloring on the watch was actually meant to signify \u201cday\u201d and \u201cnight,\u201d which makes a great deal of sense in the correct context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, due to the popular association with Pepsi\u2019s logo colors, the watch has remained popular among collectors for several decades. It continues to remain in production, with the most recent iteration appearing in 2021. In this instance, the watch in question was a GMT-Master II 126710BLRO with an Oyster bracelet.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
